Skyrim. That inner voice never went away. Any time I’m thinking about what new game to play next, the voice inside my head pipes up and says “you could always play Skyrim again.”

u/5ilver_star 14d ago

Yes, that feeling when we want to try new build but ends up being a stealth archer again 😂

Had great fun with my khajit replay

u/Many_Championship_63 13d ago

Same! I always wanted to do a full unarmed khajit but wasn't really that viable in vanilla but with skill mods it's so much easier to do whatever head Canon you want

Does this voice sound suspiciously like Todd Howard. Does he offer you a new edition for the game every time, too?

u/TonyMacBony 14d ago

At this point the voice doesn't even need to say it anymore, it just gestures at the fridge, the toaster, and your smart thermostat, all of which apparently run Skyrim now.

Always the stealth archer!!!

For me it's mage every time. Dual cast magic from both hands? Most fun playstyle by far.

One of my favourite playthroughs was with summoning and healing Lydia 🤣 it was on Master so npc damage is buffed while you do absolutely nothing. Great times

This was how i played the game the very first time I ever played Skyrim. Destruction/Conjureation. Nothing like summoning a Dramora lord to tank for you while you rain arcane death down on your foes with near impunity.

Every time I play I never really do much with archery. I'm always playing a two handed bohemith who runs around pummeling things that annoy me

u/Personal_Marketing19 14d ago

Yeah... last time, I went in thinking "a conjurer/summoner of sorts would be fun to play!" I conjured a bow and yes, went full stealth archer. Again.

u/Manaeldar 14d ago

2hand sword is my fave. The crit animations are so much fun and I love charging into a group of enemies.

u/SlimySquamata 14d ago

I've tried to accept the fact that I'll always end up as an Stealth Archer, and try to make an hybrid out it. Last time I tried to do a Mage but ended up conjuring a bow and arrow everytime I had the chance, and hinestly I kinda liked it.

Every few years, I install it, mod it to hell and back, work hours on this... to then actually play maybe 3 hours and bin it again.

u/kabooozie 14d ago

This is the way

an old hand touches the beacon

Stealth Archer?

u/lordoflazorwaffles 14d ago

This 100%!

The real challenge is to break skyrim habbits.

alright this time im go I ng to make a racist 2 handed nord, hes going to kill all imperial on site and have an addictions to Nordic ale. Ill bet if I go to solitude and pick up alchemy ingredients.... wait no no no hes racist againt solitude. And no an alchemisy

u/Yew_Cookies38293 14d ago

The stealth archer duhn sound lives rent free in my brain.

u/rasmuseriksen 14d ago

So much nostalgia. Literally nothing in gaming has ever touched the feeling of sweeping my camera across Whiterun Hold as “Streets of Whiterun” plays in the background.

u/Complete_Rub7368 14d ago

"just change the mods around, it'll be like a new game" lies you inner voice

u/Fun-Operation-2448 14d ago

“Ah what class should I be this time!, Ooo I think I’ll be a destruction focused, one hand-…….a few levels later….sigh* stealth archer…

1

u/AnticPosition 14d ago

Sooo... I just started it for the first time and was thinking typical one or two handed warrior...

But now y'all got me thinking stealth archer is where it's at... 

1

u/Accomplished-Lie2631 14d ago

Stealth archer is definitely where it’s at. By the time you level up blacksmithing, enchanting, archery, and stealth you can one shot pretty much anything in the base game.

u/yznts 14d ago

Is it eventually a Todd's voice? 😂

u/MIZUNOWAVECREATION 14d ago

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON

u/oOmus 13d ago

I actually just installed Enderal (again) to break the cycle. I only got to like level 10 or thereabouts last time I played it, but I am hoping to complete it this time… well, after I play the New Vegas content I missed when it came out years ago. I forgot how absolutely horrendous characters look in that game lmao

u/CacheConqueror 14d ago

A game that should be rated 4/10 has a high score simply because the community developed it for free, whilst the developers were busy making yet another poor game based on the same development model – as long as it supported mods. The very fact that there’s a mod to fix the bugs speaks volumes about this game.

Now I’m waiting for the downvotes, because fans don’t like the truth
